Disable secure pages in the Admin

[Mike718NY]

Is it possible to disable secure pages from being used in the admin?

It adds overhead and slows the pages down.

Remove this line from the ~/App_Data/AbleCommerce.config file below the <securePages> tag. I believe that's all that is required although I wouldn't recommend it at all - any payment information viewed could be easily compromised by even the most novice packet sniffer.

Code: Select all

<add path="Admin" recurse="true" />

If performance is an issue, get a better host or more bandwidth instead of risking your business reputation. One is far more costly than the other in the long run.

Thanks Joe,
yeah, I'm only paying $30.00 a month. Sometimes the site runs fast, but
other times pages could take over 40 seconds or more to load.
I would be willing to pay more for faster performance.

I found a way to get around not using Secure pages for Credit Card info:

<files>
<!-- added these 2-->
<add path="Admin/Login.aspx" />
<add path="Admin/Orders/Payments/Default.aspx" />

<add path="Login.aspx" />
....

I also added admin login as secure. The admin is much faster now.
